As you know, the Castro in San Francisco (where I live) has a huge and diverse LGBT population, and Club Divas is a niche club where transgender women come and their admirers (admittedly, probably ->-bleeped-<- ->-bleeped-<-s) flock to.
Do your city/town has something akin to those hot spots (specifically catered to LGBT population, and especially transgender) in SF? :)
I know of WeHo in Los Angeles and Chelsea Village in Manhattan as "LGBT hot spots", but I m not familar with any other nightclub like Divas anywhere in US.
My hometown has this club called "Divas". It's in San Francisco...when I am not staying in the Castro(I do when my ex and I sleep together)
My city has like, 3 gay clubs... does that count?
There are gay bars and clubs in every major city -
I meant specifically a district that is populated with LGBT people within the city like the Castro .... not a specific bar or club.
As for Club Divas, yes, I am asking if you have a specific nightclub/bar that caters to transgender women - not just drag night or Friday ->-bleeped-<- nights at some gay bar (one bar in LA comes to mind), lol
Yeah, I live near San Francisco. I've never been to one of those places though... I wouldn't fit in at all.

There are no bars here in Orlando that cater to transgender women specifically.
Those places sound pretty scary to be honest, but this is coming from someone who doesn't like her transness at all. I'm simply trans because I can't be cis-female.
No entire specific districts which cater mostly to this population. There are a few hotspots though.
I don't find these venues too interesting. Club divas don't do anything for me.
I have heard specific gayberhoods and such are in serious decline. The internet and various other things has caused them to close their doors in big numbers. They may cater to a older generation of people. I am sure it all will be around in some form or another also in the future.
There are a couple clubs known for their performers in San Antonio.
Sure, we've got Boystown here in Chicago, with good ol' Berlin being the TG club. Outside Berlin is also the place a lot of the trans prostitutes congregate and Berlin is specifically the locale where Bailey gathered anecdotes to support his theories about trans women.
I went to Berlin one time and it was just not at all my scene. It is exactly how I perceive a "club"; extremely loud and obnoxious. I know it's the scene of some people here and I don't mean to offend. It's just not my idea of a good time. I'd rather have a group of four or five people gathered around, smoking, drinking coffee, and talking.
I thought Diva's was in the Tenderloin, not the Castro.
Nope. We have, like, a bears club, but the gay community/resources are, nearly and literally so, nonexistant in my town. In the bigger town in the area, there are a couple gay things, but there isn't much in the way of gay here.
... So, by extension, there is no tg club for several hours of driving.
Boston has a club called Jacque's Cabaret which features drag shows & female impersonators.

I think it's funny that I've hooked up with straight men at Toad Hall. My b/f is worried about me hooking up with gay/bi men...But not the straight guys who have gay friends and chances are, wouldn't mind a transsexual girl. They are all over the Castro...
A 19 yr old from Diamond Heights hit on me a few weeks ago in the Castro. He was kinda homie... Kinda surreal being in my old hang out place and being ignored by 95% of the gay men there. Before I'd be hit on all the time.... Guys would come up to me and say, "You're a fine little boy" and "let's go and talk someplace"

Ironically, I picked up a 21 years old straight guy who knew I was transgender at a bar in Castro last night, heh.

What bar did you go to?
I am there. But I often bring my GG friends as my "wing women". For the past 3 months, I've had success with some man everytime I go there but I dress fairly average(leggings/tunic or jeans/blouse). My guy or many of the guys I've met simply don't know. They think I am a fruitfly who "went too far". I had to prove my malehood to one of the bartenders there once...that was embarassing...considering my ex b/f works at that bar.

Toronto has at least one trans/drag club that I know of - George's Play.
Goodhandy's is another place in Toronto. More often than not it's trans night.

That's mortifying! I cannot imagine having to expose myself to prove myself! I went to Q Bar.

Describe the guy you hooked up.

Why?
Nevermind. It's not important...
But yeah... I am rarely at Qbar. I prefer Toad Hall. :)
Oh yeah I like Toad Hall a lot too . I prefer Q Bar, Cafe, and Trigger - very trans-friendly.

lol I was at Badlands with some people last Sat night... no one was interested in a chick like me. But at Q Bar, on the other hand, I've met a plenty. lol

Badlands dance floor is infectious on Saturday nights. I had so many guys trying to hook up with me...I guess some gay dudes hook up with vaj when they can't get sausage. LMAO. I used to see that all the time...
Q= queer bar...You get everyone there. I prefer the Mix though. Who knows we might run into each other sometime.
The Mix - yeah , I only go there if my old gay friends beg to meet there. Otherwise, I haunt Q Bar, heh.
Girl, I think we would raise hell if we ever got together in Castro, lol.
